MGR/Jonny G « Peavey Bandit 112 Amp »
Published on 11/14/03 at 15:00I bought this from PMT in Oxford for £285 for my first 'proper' amp. My old one was a stagg 10w.......
BIIIIIG and bulky. Bastard to carry, but very sturdy, i should know, having dropped it a few times and left in in the rain for 5 minutes once.
Has some serious power. 80w doesnt sound like that much, but I did a gig in a huge echo barn and only had to put it up to volume 5 of 10 to fill the place.
It has the best distortion i have ever heard on an amp. It has three types: vintage, modern and high gain. All sound great and do exactly what they say on the tin. vintage is bluesy and rough, modern thick and powerful and high gain just plain noisy. It also manages to retain its sound quality in the lower volumes, which is important, cause u aint gonna be turning it up too much.
The footpedal is a little noisy because it is amplified and ive has some problems with connections in the plug, but nothing i couldnt fix. Except the lack of headphone socket.
With the exception of a few input connection problems, absolutely fine. Very sturdy and resistant to water (wooops).
A brilliant amp well worth the money. Good for all types of music, but heavey rock in particular would benefit from this peavey sound. Reliable and tough if a little heavy.
